Lakers player season grades: Dwight Howard

Our final analysis of Dwight Howard’s performance this season.

In the 2019-20 season, Dwight Howard became one of the better redemption stories in NBA history when he atoned for a poor first stint with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2013.

Unlike back then, he was team-oriented and infused the squad with positive energy while accepting and even embracing a much-reduced role.

With Howard manning the middle in a reserve role, the Lakers won the NBA championship.

After spending a year with the Philadelphia 76ers, Howard came back to the Lakers again for a third stint.

He may not be the player he was even two years ago, but he performed his role solidly.
